1 cup of shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ripe avocado, diced
1 jalapeño, sliced (optional for spice)
Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
Olive oil (for drizzling)

For the Cannabis-Infused Cheese Sauce:

2 tablespoons of cannabis-infused butter or oil
2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy)
1 ½ cups of shredded cheese (your choice)
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1 teaspoon of onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheese Sauce

Start by making the cannabis-infused cheese sauce:

In a medium saucepan, melt the cannabis-infused butter or oil over medium heat.
Add the flour and whisk continuously for about 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
Gradually add the milk, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and begins to thicken.
Stir in the shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper. Keep stirring until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is creamy.

2. Assemble the Nachos

Now it’s time to put everything together for the perfect nacho experience:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the tortilla chips evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the warm cheese sauce generously over the chips, ensuring every chip gets a taste.
Add the black beans and sliced jalapeños on top.
Bake in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese sauce is bubbling and the chips are crispy.

3. Top with Fresh Ingredients

Once your nachos are out of the oven, it’s time to add those fresh ingredients:

Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool for a minute.
Top with diced avocado and chopped cilantro.
Drizzle a little olive oil for added flavor and presentation.
